Profile

Guns N' Roses is a licensed pinball game originally developed by Data East as a widebody machine featuring cobra mechanics and G/R-shaped ramps, with later versions produced by Jersey Jack Pinball. The game is based on the legendary rock band, with licensing obtained through direct contact with guitarist Slash, who is an avid pinball enthusiast owning 20-25 machines himself. Jersey Jack's version became one of their bestselling titles, with the Limited Edition capped at 500 units and Standard Edition at 5,100 units, commanding high secondary market prices ($5,000-$11,000+). The game has been praised for theme integration and code quality, though it remains divisive in the community.
